Tranen (Gezelle, set by L. Orthel, K. Dejonghe, J. Byloo) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


        't Is nevelkoud,
     en, 's halfvoornoens, nog
duister in de lanen;
          de boomen, die 'k
     nog nauwelijks zien kan,
weenen dikke tranen.

          't En regent niet,
     maar 't zeevert... van die
fijngezichte, natte
          schiervatbaarheid,
     die stof gelijkt, en
wolke en wulle en watte.

          't Is aschgrauw al,
     beneên, omhooge, in
't veld en langs de lanen:
          de boomen, die ‘k
     nog nauwelijks zien kan,
weenen dikke tranen.
